Dear spontaneous huggers, hand grabbers, arm wrappers, hair strokers and shoulder holders,
I understand you have so much love inside you that you want to extend it to physical means and that is lovely, but I know I am speaking for a lot of people here when I say this. Please just ask first. For many neurodivergent individuals, unwanted physical contact can make us very uncomfortable and sometimes it’s difficult to tell people. Even if they’re not neurodivergent, asking before you give someone a hug is just an all round good thing to do.
Also, please please please don’t hug someone after they specifically tell you it makes them uncomfortable, contact is about expressing affection and there is nothing affectionate about making someone unhappy. There are so many other beautiful ways of expressing emotions that don’t involve touch and asking is the most simple and easy thing to do.
Just found out something awful that happened to one of my best friends from childhood and i can’t stop sobbing. Shes the sweetest person and i wish i could help her somehow. She called me crying and told me her moms bf assaulted her last month and now shes worried because shes late and been feeling sick.
She went to the Dr today and they confirmed that she is pregnant and about 6 weeks along. She’s made an appt. for next week to try and save enough to get the abortion pill. Shes got 100 left from her last paycheck saved up but is 375 short. I’m really worried about her shes been really depressed since everything happened and dealing with it. Her mother is still refusing to believe her. If you can help spread this so we can try and raise the money to help her. I want to hopefully send her the rest of what she needs go take a little bit of the pressure and stress off her. https://paypal.me/riarambles?locale.x=en_US
